Lunch with Kellie and Louise

3:49pm JST Friday 29 April 2005

Lunch with Kellie and Louise was lovely; we met in Omote Sando and chowed at a smoke filled restaurant called Zest. It was really crappy service; though they weren't really busy, it took about 20 minutes to get the first glasses of water. They didn't have the first two choices Kellie chose from the menu. They were on the menu, but not available, including a salad. The food took a pretty long time and the best thing was definitely the company I was with.

Louise is getting ready for her performance in Steel Magnolias, and Kellie is getting ready for the 51st Voyage of P-B, for which she'll be applying soon. Louise told the story of someone who shall remain nearly nameless who invited himself over to her house after a late night of revelry and then vomited on her couch but didn't clean it up. Ick.

On the way out, I jokingly beggingly asked Louise if I could hang out with her and sit next to her and sit behind her and talk to her and please please please please... and she said that I couldn't talk to her, but I could help her with her lines. (*)

(*) Dialogue from her play, not cocaine

I was like, ooooooooooooooooooooh cause I would *love* to hang out with her more, but it could be based on the wrong reasons, plus I had plans to see Kellie's balcony where TJ Bike can live while I'm on the boat.

I told Kellie how I had thought Louise might meet/match all the checklist of my optimal mate, and how Louise shut me down pretty quickly. Ah well.

party GET Graduation

10:19pm JST Friday 29 April 2005

Had a pretty much fun time with some P-B peeps and GET students at a Greek restaurant with a little buffet and gyros and salsa dancing. The whole (small) restaurant was reserved for us, and we had tables put together to make one big table outside. We had a get-ta-know-ya game of finding correct answers to questions (all given strips of paper) and then played a drinking game afterward.

Kellie got to meet my mates from PB and found out that she won't be able to join the 51st voyage cause it goes to Cuba and Americans can't easily enough get visas into Cuba. Apparently staying on the boat is not even an option cause the boat will be in Cuban waters. What a fuckin' fiasco Bay of Pigs has caused.

Lots of dancing was danced (after we played a couple of drinking games, including the Animal Game from YRUU but miming musical instruments and a random order counting game that I propose we call Sharks.) including lots of salsa and some Rob's crazy dance mixed in. I certainly didn't do any salsa, but did dance around with some of the obaasans.

After the party a few of us (Nat, her boy Rosh(sp) and a man who won't be able to joing the 49th voyage and a woman who will (names forgotten) and I) went to HUB near Takabakabaka station. I didn't stay too long; it was too smokey for me. Eww. But I did stay for a bit.
